The British Army Canopy Piloting Team, from Netheravon in UK, were selected as the Army Sports Team of the year at an Award ceremony in London earlier this week. The PD Sponsored Team was up against stiff competition from other elite sportsmen and women, including a number of Olympic hopefuls. To demonstrate the importance of the Award Ceremony the prizes were presented by General Sir David Richards. He is the Chief of the General Staff- the Head of the British Army. He also outlined his dedication to sport insisting that the qualities it delivers are integral to his main effort in Afghanistan.
The UK High Extreme Aerobatic Team, HEAT, have been chasing the bad weather and have just returned from a training camp in Germany consolidating their last camp held in DeLand with coach Jay Moledzki. The camp was held at Bad Lippspringe which is also the site of the UK Nationals later this year. Despite the poor weather jumps were still made on the IPC standard pond. The dropzone recently extended the Classic Accuracy pit out to the end of the pond to help provide a gentle landing for the more aggressive zone accuracy approaches.
